The Baby and the Soldiers.
From the Chicago Ledger.

From the Chicago Ledger.
Rough and ready the troopers ride,
Great bearded men with swords by side;
They have ridden long they have ridden hard,
They are travel-stained and batte-scarred;
The hard ground shakes with their martial tramp
And course is the laugh Of the men of the camp.
They reach a spot where mother stands,
With baby clappng its little hands,
Laughing aloud at the gallant sight
OF the mounted soldiers fresh from the fight.
The Captain laughs out; I'm give you this,
handful of gold, your baby to KISS"
Smiles the mother: "A kiss can't be Sold
But gladly he'll kiss soldier bold"
He hits up the babe with n manly grace,
And covers with kisses its smiling face,
It's rosy cheeks, and its dimpled charms
And it crows with delight in the soldiers arms.
mot all for the Captain, the soldiers call;
THE baby, we know. has a kiss for all"
To the soldiers breasts the baby is pressed
BY the strong, rough men, and by turns caressed
And louder 1t laughs, and the mother fair
Smiles with mute joy as the kisses they share.
Just such kiss, - cries one trooper grim,
when left my boy gave to him."
And just such kiss on the parting day
gave to my girl as asleep she lay"
Such were the words of the soldiers brave,
And their eyes were moist as the kiss they gave.

Origin of Chestnut"
ErO1,l the PhiI1oyeIflb;o Press

Mr.. Joseph jefferson is responsible for the
latest explanation of the word chestnut" He
attributes the introduction of the word in its
slang sense to Mr.. William Warren, the veteran
comedian of Boston
There is melodrama, Mr.. jefferson said to
a Press reporter, but little known to the pres
ent generation, written by William Dillon, and
called The Broken Sword. There were two
characters in it, one Capt Xavier, and the
other the Comedy part of PABLO The Captain
is a sort of Baron Munchausen, and in telling of
his exploits, says: I entered the woods OF
Collaway, when suddenly from the thick boughs
of a cork tree'-Pablo interrupts him with the
words: a chestnut, Captain; a chestnut
BAH replies the Captain. BOBBY, say cork
tree"
"A chestnut reterates Pablo. L should
know as well as you, having heard you tell the
tale these twenty times William Warren,
who had often played the part Of Pablo, was at
a stag dinner two years ago when one of the
gentlemen present told story of doubtful age
and originality. "A chestnut, murmered Mr.
Warren, quoting from the play, have heard
you tell the tale these twenty-S wen times The
application of the lines pleased the rest of the
table. and when the party broke up each helped
to spread the story and Mr.. Warren's common
tary. AND that, concluded Mr. jefferson, is
what really believe to be the origin of the
word chestnut. ~

The Troubles of Loan Companies.


The companies of New York, Philadel
phia and other large Northern cities which
are engaged in loaning money in Southern
and Western States at high rate of inter
1 est, are meeting with some trouble in get
| ting their money back. They ought tc
have known that farmers cannot pay the
| exorbitant rates of interest which they
| demand a. man who is in great
need of money will agree to pay almost any
rate of interest, and will give mortgage
on his land to secure the payment OF princi-
pal and interest He will also submit TO
| almost any conditions which the money
lender may ask, hoping that by some means
he will be able to meet his obligations when
they become due. In most cases, however,
he hasn't the money to pay either the mort
gage or the interest on it when payday
arrives. He must, therefore, involve him
self still further in debt or lose his land.
Eventually, however, he must lose his land,
because he cannot make out of it enough to
meet the incumbrance upon it.
In this State good many of these loan
company mortgages have been foreclosed,
and where it has been shown that unlawful
interest has been charged the companies
have been able to get judgments for only
what appeared to be lawfully due them. A
great many farmers, however, prefer to
lose their land than to shield themselves be-
hind the unlawful contracts which they
fully understood when they made them.
In the West, particularly in Kansas, the
loan companies have suffered severely. 1t
is estimated that in Southern Kansas there
is as much as 500, 600, 600 due to loan COM
panies, about all of which is secured by
, mortgages on alleged farms and improved
town property. If the mortgages were fore
closed not half that amount probably could
be realized. IL is said that the agents of
the companies were so anxious to make
their fees that they did not
tako the troubla to examine the
titles of property offered to them
as security. and not infrequently the mort
gagged property was not worth half the
amount loaned upon it. There are reported
to be well authenticated cases in Kansas
where men have made small fortunes in i'm
proving town property and then mortgaging
it for at least twice its value.
1t seems, therefore, that the loan com
panies have not been so fortunate as their
high rates of interest would seem to indi-
cate. 1t is quite certain that some of them
have lost great deal of money.
As rule, the man who has first class Sc
curity can always get money, when it is to
be had, at the prevailing rate of interest.
Those who haven't good security must pay
interest in proportion to the risk that is
taken

Adventures With the Folding Bed.
From the Chicago Tribune.

A remarkable adventure with a folding bed
occurred few nights ago to young man con-
nected with leading dry goods house of the
city. The young man referred to lives on the
North Side, aud manifeSts, occasionally, much
conviviality of disposition He had been mani
Testing such quality one evening week before
last. and when he went home was in balmy
and beaming mood He hit the keyhole some
how, and went up stairs to his room. His fold
ing bed he recognized as the place in which he
was accustomed to sleep, and he recollected
the article to make It ready for &C
cupancy. He grappled with it. The
next morning the chambermaid entering the
room was surprised to see that the folding bed
had not been occupied, though it had been
pulled down. She did the usual sweeping and
brushing. and then seized the bed to lift it back
to its place. Then she dropped it and began
series of blood-curdlng screams which as
sembled the household. She said there was a
body under the bed. 1t was lifted and the
body was there, sure enough IL was the body
He had pulled the bed down on himself and had
gone to sleep perfectly satisfied, the legs of the
article OF furniture holding it at sufficient
height to prevent his suffocation. In his dazed
condition he had discovered the easiest way of
going to bed ever vet hit upon.
Still another story in which the folding bed
figured is reported from Ellis avenue. This par
ticular folding bed is owned by lady on the
above named thoroughfare One memorable
night in her life no sooner had she fairly inn
planted her head on the downy pillows than the
T.,
Faster and faster it moved, and all the stories
she had ever read of people being buried alive
flashed Through her mind. 1t was moment of
supreme horror. But as the average woman at
sight of a mouse will summon TO her aid q
wonan's only weapon--to-wt, her tongue-so
did the fair Ellis avenue sufferer bethink
her of that useful but oft un,1ily member,
and right Justify did she employ it, too, as her
neighbors can well and truly testify, and as her
husband might also but for the fact that it was
lodge night, and his presence had been de-
manded down town Hearing a succession of
unearthly shrieks, the more venturesome of the
aforesaid neighbors attempted to get into the
house. but not being professional housebreakers
their efforts were sgnally unsuccessful. Mean
While the screams and shrieSs continued with
redoubled vehemence, aud it was not until one
OF the neighbrs had called the police patrol, and
two of Chicago's preservers of the peace had
broken open the door and invaded the premises,
and discovered the cause of so unseemfy an out
break IN most respectable, quiet neighbor-
mood, that the Door woman was released from
aer folding prison and peace gradually settled
down upon the Sceue.

A Daughter of Liszt.

From Adolf Holssdye's Paris Letter.
Some interest has been excited by the appear
ance of a young lady who claims to be daugh-
ter of List Her mother, she says, was and is
a member of one of the reigning families OF Eu-
rope; indeed one of the most eminent royalties.
Her birth was kept secret. of course, to avoid
scandal and she was brought up in ignorance of
her parentage. She was. however, treated al
most like young princess. When List died
she was visited one night secretly by the royal
lady in question, who first obtained from her an
oath of secrecy, and then told her the story of
her birth. The young lady still conceals the
name of her mother who is living, but feels I'M
der no obligation to keep the oath so far as her
dead father is concerned. She is a handsome
girl, with List cast of features and with an
apparently native talent FOR music. She has
received handsome fortune from her mother,
and so will not be dependent upon her own ex-
music is so great that she will give a series of
public pano-forte recitals, and perhaps make
concert tour of the world.

The Opposition to Mr.. Blaine.

Although Mr.. Blaine seems to be the
favorite with his party for President, it is
not out of the range of possibility that he
will not get the nomination. There is a per-
sistent effort being made to place the honor
elsewhere, and although it may not be very
widespread, it may amount to something.
This opposition is, apparently, not
crystalizing around any particular
candidate but is an expression
of disapproval of Mr.. Blaine and his methods
and of desire to see better man put for
ward. If it could unite on some available
person it would stand better chance of
success, but the prospect for concert of
action is not at this time very f1attering.
Senator Sherman does not seem to be able
to concentrate the anti-Blaine sentiment in
his favor and it would be difficult to
name any one who could Until some
thing Of the kind is done, the movement
will not amount to much. Its sympathizers,
however, are getting in some very good
work against MIR. Blaine, who, it must be
admitted, is quite vulnerable to attack
Here are three papers, the Portland Press,
the Troy Telegram and Philadelphia Bull
letin, representing as many important
States, that are strongly opposing his
nomination. The loss of n Maine
would not count for a great deal in
the matter of votes, but if the Press could
make a show of any considerable opposition
in Mr.. Blaines own State, the effect would
be somewhat disastrous to his hopes. The
Republican party, says the Press, twill not
fnl 1Eith
they believe inimical to the best interests of
the nation for the purpose of catching
votes" In New York and Pennsylvania a
detection sufficient to give the delegations
from those States to some one else would
be a very serious blow. The Telegram
says ''there are thousands of Republicans
who stand ready to explain why Mr.. Blaine
will not be nominated, and the Bulletin
says that great many Republicans voted
against him in 1884, and a great many more
would vote against him in 1883. Others of
the Republican press are ridiculing his
scheme of landing in San Francisco few
days previous to the assembling of the con-
vention, and making run through the
country in order to attract votes
They declare that it will fall
fiat. Gen. Grant, they say, after
having Travelled around the world and re-
ceived greater honors than any man from
this country has ever received, tried the
same plan, and came home just in time to
be defeated.
So far as the Democrats are concerned,
they would probably be pleased to have Mr.
Blaine receive the nomination, and, unless
some unexpected change of sentiment
takes place, they stand in a fair
way to be accommodated. Their pros
poets of success are very good against
any candidate the Republicans may
nominate, but they would derive great salts.
